It be interesting to find out where Blackpool are placed on the leader of number of Wembley trips.

I bet it’s more than most EFL clubs. We’re really quite lucky!
 
We must be pretty high on the list of teams playing at the MillStad, as well.
 
Not only are Blackpool the only club to win all three divisional play-offs, but the Tangerines also hold the record for appearing in the most finals. Out of seven appearances they have qualified for six finals, and alongside four promotions their two losses came in the 1991 Division Four final against Torquay United and the 2012 Championship final defeat to West Ham. If they beat Exeter in the 2017 League Two play-off final, they will be only club with five play-off final victories.

Preston had to endure the longest run of play-offs failure when failing to gain promotion in their first nine attempts – six semi-final losses and three finals: 1994 Third Division, 2001 First Division, and 2005 Championship. They broke the curse by winning the 2015 League One final when emphatically defeating Swindon 4-0, courtesy of Jermaine Beckford’s hat-trick.
